setting up local irc server so I can set up a local irc client, had the idea while weechat was taking a while to compile! Here's the config. Built inspircd from source, on the insp4 branch. Configured as follows: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
inspircd $ cat run/conf/inspircd.conf |
|||
<server name="localhost" |
|||
id="99R"> |
|||
<bind address="" |
|||
port="7000" |
|||
type="clients"> |
|||
</pre> |
|||
Ok and here's the command |
|||
run $ ./bin/inspircd --debug |
|||
Then |
|||
Server is all set up. Ran 1 client as weechat, then the usual |
|||
/server add localone localhost/7000 -notls |
|||
Just have to disable ssl |
|||
Then connect: |
|||
/server connect localone |
|||
/join #roro |
|||
or any channel |
|||
Was able to make a new weechat client and make them talk to each other thusly: |
|||
$ cd (mktemp -d) |
|||
tmp.A8yiRWBf $ weechat --dir=. |
|||
tada! |
